Product Description

The Zybo Z7 is a feature-rich, ready-to-use embedded software and digital circuit development board built around the Xilinx Zynq-7000 family. This is the second generation update to the popular Zybo that was released in 2012. The Zynq family is based on the Xilinx All Programmable System-on-Chip (AP SoC) architecture, which tightly integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with Xilinx 7-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic. The Zybo Z7 surrounds the Zynq with a rich set of multimedia and connectivity peripherals to create a formidable single-board computer, even before considering the flexibility and power added by the FPGA. The Zybo Z7's video-capable feature set, including a MIPI CSI-2 compatible Pcam connector, HDMI input, HDMI output, and high DDR3L bandwidth, was chosen to make it an affordable solution for the high end embedded vision applications that Xilinx FPGAs are popular for. Attaching additional hardware is made easy by the Zybo Z7's Pmod connectors, allowing access to Digilent's catalog of over 70 Pmod peripheral boards, including motor controllers, sensors, displays, and more.

Great, but should have an FSBL creation tutorial.

I like this board a lot, it has a LOT of peripherals and a large SoC. One of the best Xilinx boards with camera support. Micro-SD is not included.

Incompatible with Zynqbook

If you intend to use this with the Zynqbook tutorials, look elsewhere. The provided materials do not support the Z7-20 model

Does not come with a Micro USB cable

Posted by Unknown on 10th Mar 2018

First of all, I want to say that I love digilent products, they are well documented, and there are lots of online support; at least for the Zedboard, Zybo, and some of their PMODs I have worked with.

The Zybo, so far is it working just as expected. I am using is for SoC course I am currently taking, and for a personal project.

The online support for the older Zybo is humongous, and most of that support still applies to this updated board. Lots of IP cores available online. This is definitely the best bang for your buck, especially with student pricing.

The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is because of Digilen;ts greediness. How can you not include a micro USB cable? Sure it might raise the price to $200 instead of $199 but for many of us it would be worth it.

When I brought this up on their YouTube channel, this is the reply I got

"Apologies that the reason given wasn't adequate. Since there are multiple ways of powering the board and USB micro cables are ubiquitous we made the choice to not include the cable. "

So what happens when a school buys 200+boards at once, are they supposed to just whip out 200+ micro USB cables at once too? I found this ridiculous.
